“I’ve personally trained with Damian Ross since 1997 and I’ve watched the Self Defense Company and it’s Combatives program since it’s inception. I have seen this training work first hand as a law enforcement officer. Not only have I used these techniques and tactics with 100% success in the street, but I also teach them to other officers in my department and at the academy.” - DetLt. Ed Kane
"A large part of my life (obviously) revolves around guns and combat shooting skills. But there’s a harsh reality that a lot of gun owners frankly just ‘don’t get’ when it comes to surviving a life or death attack on you and your family. In fact, there’s a question that most gun owners simply don’t have an answer to: “What if, for whatever reason, I can’t use my gun?” Well, Damian Ross of the Self Defense Company has answered that question, in one of the most effective weapon retention training systems I have ever seen. Please pay close attention. Your life may depend on it." - Tim Schmidt, President, US Concealed Carry
